Exorbitant prices at new Dallas Cowboys Stadium haven’t hurt sales one bit, says Dallas Cowboys management

Comment

ARLINGTON — The Dallas Cowboys say that they are "quite pleased" with sales so far of the crazy-expensive seats in their new stadium. The "first sales phase" is winding down, during which they've sold half of the most expensive seats. The message here, if it's not perfectly clear, is that anyone who hasn't yet signed up to buy tickets during this all-important first phase might want to, you know, get chopping or else the seats might possibly get purchased by someone else.

Prices start at $16,000 for a 30-year "seat option" and top out at $150,000. On top of this low-low upfront fee, you also have to buy the actual ticket, which is $340 per game. The equivalent seat in the dusty, crappy, dirty, rundown, icky, old, cootie-covered Texas Stadium was $129.

These new ticket prices are more expensive than any other NFL team and "stunned" fans, says the DMN. What a bunch of cheapskates.

The Cowboys management will announce pricing for the rest of the stadium in late February.
